On a recent episode of ‘The Ingraham Angle,’ Texas Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick sharply criticized Kamala Harris’ handling of border security and its impact on healthcare costs.

Patrick defended Texas’ tough stance on illegal immigration, asserting that the state’s measures are essential to protect American lives and prevent healthcare system abuses.

He emphasized that treating illegals has led to inflated medical costs compared to treating U.S. citizens, who usually have established records and more predictable treatment needs.

“I’m talking about the everyday maladies that illegals show up like it’s their primary care doctor because they’ve got a cold. This has to stop,” the Lieutenant said.

“And everybody out there who’s watching this, that has not made up their mind, to pick a side and vote for Donald Trump, yet… I’m telling you, folks, this is the country you’re going to get with Kamala Harris.”

According to Patrick, Harris’s approach to border management is the main reason why citizens are not getting the health care they deserve.

“If you’re an American citizen, you’re having someone here illegally in front of you and your own child, or you may not get the help you need. We don’t have an unlimited supply of nurses and doctors in America, it’s tough enough to get a doctor’s appointment as it is,” Patrick said.

“So we have to stop this. We have to close down this border. Kamala Harris is just lying about everything she’s done. Nothing except allow more people in.”
